Universal Corner

[Verse 1]

Slip around some universal corner

(Like a woman)

Slip around some corner, pick up the phone

(Like a woman)

She must build a fire next to the pay phone

Heat is the point, smoke on the receiver

Light up to its universal ringing

(Like a woman)

Picking it up, her heat finds the night and rises

And rises

[Verse 2]

She lets you in on her perfect secret

(Like a woman)

She wants a man who knows all the right places

(Like a woman)

Washing his feet with her tears, she'd dry them with her hair

Among the undefiled, she's gone wild

Her sins will sin from behind her

(Like a woman)

Dropping the phone, she leaves it dead to the dead men

The dead men

[Chorus]

Screaming Magdalene

So alone, she picks up the phone

Screaming Magdalene

I'm so waiting, is there anyone so waiting?

Screaming Magdalene

She is running

[Verse 3]

Slip around some universal corner

(Like a woman)

Slip around some corner, pick up the phone

(Like a woman)

She must build a fire next to the pay phone

Heat is the point, smoke on the receiver

Light up to its universal ringing

(Like a woman)

Picking it up, her heat finds the night and rises

And rises

[Chorus]

Screaming Magdalene

So alone, she picks up the phone

Screaming Magdalene

I'm so waiting, is there anyone so waiting?

Screaming Magdalene

She is running
